Abstract

A robot controller that controls a robot by automatically obtaining a controller capable of suitably controlling a wide range of robots. An image is acquired from an image capturing apparatus that photographs an environment including the robot. The robot is driven based on an output result obtained by inputting the image to a neural network. The neural network is updated according to a reward generated in a case where a plurality of virtual images photographed while changing an environmental condition of a virtual environment generated by virtualizing the environment and a state of a virtual robot are input to the neural network, and a policy of the virtual robot, which is output from the neural network, satisfies a predetermined condition.
